"The run felt off from the start — like we were going down the track at a different angle than we should have been," Matt explained.

The two careened down the track, veering back and forth and hitting the walls on either side. But it was when their luge came to a stop as it approached an incline that things got really dicey — it began to slide backwards.

It looked scary enough a viewer's perspective, but Matt said the fear was only amplified as they actually experienced it.

"It felt like 300 m.p.h. and it felt like it lasted for a week," Matt said.

The two admitted they'll be on the lookout for a less intense sport the next time around.
